[Santiago de Chile], Imprenta de la Opinion, dated 29 August 1831.. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. 4°, early plain wrappers (soiled, stained). Caption title. Light stains and soiling. In good condition. 33 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION of these regulations for the second incarnation of the Academia Militar, ancestor of Chile's present Escuela Militar. They specify admission requirements, a four-year course of study with the content of each course (pp. 17-24) and the exams (pp. 24-28), what the cadets will be doing every hour of every day, and even how often they will shave and change their linen. Also covered are the duties of the director, sub-director, faculty, chaplain, surgeon, bursar, and doorman. Like many military academies established after the Napoleonic Wars, this one followed the French model in organization, regulations, and uniforms.The Academia was founded in 1817 by Bernardo O'Higgins, but closed for financial reasons in 1819. President Ramón Freire, attempting to reopen the school a few years later, failed due to the chaotic situation in Chile during the 1820s. It was finally reestablished in 1831, under President José Joaquin Prieto and his minister Diego Portales. After another lapse (1838-1842), it reopened under the name Escuela Militar, and has existed since then with only one brief hiatus (1876-1878).OCLC attributes the work to Fernando Errázuriz and Diego Portales.*** Briseño I, 296.
